Research Compliance Tracking Software

Q: What is research compliance tracking software?

It tracks the status, owner, deadline, evidence, and review history for recurring research obligations. Common examples include protocol reviews, IRB or IACUC renewals, conflicts, training, post approval monitoring, deviations, corrective actions, and audit requests.

Q: Does Process Street replace an eRA or protocol system?

No. Keep specialized systems for submissions, protocol records, committee minutes, grants, or regulated study data. Use Process Street when the gap is operational tracking, handoffs, recurring work, escalation, evidence, and proof around those records.

Q: Which research compliance items should we track first?

Start with obligations that repeat and expire: continuing reviews, training, conflict disclosures, ancillary approvals, monitoring visits, deviation follow-up, and evidence requests. They are easy to standardize and risky to manage from memory.

Q: How does tracking software help during an audit?

Each workflow retains the assigned owner, due date, status changes, approvals, comments, evidence, and completion time. Reviewers can trace the obligation from intake to closure without rebuilding the history from email, spreadsheets, and shared drives.

Research compliance tracking software gives oversight teams one live view of protocols, committee reviews, renewals, training, disclosures, monitoring, deviations, evidence, and follow-up. Process Street connects every tracked obligation to an owner, due date, status, approval, reminder, and completion record.

TRACKING BUYER GUIDE

Track the obligation and the work behind it

Choose tracking software when a dashboard must show more than a protocol record. Process Street can run intake, ancillary review, training renewal, disclosure refresh, post approval monitoring, deviation follow-up, and evidence requests as linked workflows. Teams see what is due, who owns it, what is blocked, and which proof closed the obligation. Keep dedicated eRA, IRB, IACUC, grant, or clinical systems as the source of record when needed.

What research compliance tracking should show

One obligation register

Track protocol, committee, training, disclosure, monitoring, and deviation obligations with a current owner, status, due date, risk flag, and evidence link.

Renewal and expiration control

Launch recurring reviews before deadlines, remind the assigned owner, escalate stalled work, and preserve the completed cycle instead of overwriting the prior record.

Exception and proof history

Record overdue items, missing evidence, deviations, decisions, corrective follow-up, approvals, comments, and timestamps so reviewers can trace how each exception closed.

Connected source records

Link each tracked workflow to its protocol, study, investigator, committee, sponsor, or system record so operational status stays tied to the right research context.

Portfolio tracking views

Filter active obligations by committee, department, study, owner, deadline, risk, or stage to find overdue work and upcoming review pressure quickly.

Role-based handoffs

Route the next action to investigators, coordinators, committee staff, reviewers, or institutional officials while keeping one current status and complete handoff history.
